Have a similar problem-battery says charging but us always 0% and I can not unplug without it turning off. Called Asus-surprise they only warrenty the battery for 6 months. Very frustrating.

So far so good Yuliya. I haven't had it for a year but I sure am tickled that I can have almost six hours of battery life with out it shutting down. I can't say I was really expecting that much time and good performance. Let just hope the warranty isn't needed before the battery wears out. Forget the computer battery! Hell, I just hope my own battery doesn't wear out before my warranty is up!

I haven't changed the batteries in 6 months in mine, and their working fine. I use them all most every day.I hope this helps.

Battery life is short. I turn the unit off when not in use. I do not just let it idle.

I do not think the Battery is replacement and I did not check battery life.

I got this on Aug 2013, and now it is only 6 monthes or so, and I use it not daily, but once--weekly, so the battery is still good, not 30mins, over 1 hr no problem. never measure it.

Has anyone had problems with the battery, not holding a charge, or it acquiring a memory-effect where the length of battery time decreases as it gets older?

mine is all good since 2 years and isn't dead . Last 2 hours on power savor mode . the capacity is better than the original battery that the laptop came with which didn't last for 1 year and half .

Battery life has not been a problem. EVery once in a while we need to remove a battery, let it rest for a few minutes and then replace it. Otherwise, no problem.

I''ve had mine for 5 months now. Batteries still indicating more than 50%. I don't think battery life will be an issue.

I bought it 6 months ago and the battery doesn't hold it's charge more than one hour. In the Linux panel I can see 3 hours of battery in the first time I turn on the notebook, but, as the time is going, these 3 hours showed in the panel is becoming minutes in just 1 real hour.

I have had the battery less than a month. It is great so far. I would recommend that you find someone who has had the battery over a year. That is when my previous third-party battery from another company failed despite not being recharged much.
